GOL to Resume Flights Between Sao Paulo and Caracas After 9 Years
After nearly a decade out of the Venezuelan market, GOL Linhas Aéreas announced it will resume non-stop flights between Sao Paulo and Caracas starting August 5, 2025.
Flight Frequencies and Schedules
The route will operate with a frequency of four weekly flights: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. GOL will use its fleet of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft for this connection, state-of-the-art planes with a capacity of 186 passengers.
Flights will depart Sao Paulo at 17:05, arriving in Caracas at 22:10 (local time). From Venezuela’s main airport, flights will take off at 23:40, landing in Guarulhos at 06:55 the following day (local time).
Tickets are already available for purchase on GOL’s official website.

Change of Plans
In January, the airline had announced its return to Venezuela with the Brasilia-Bogota-Caracas route starting March 31. However, in February, it suspended ticket sales, stating the decision was due to adjustments in its network and that this did not alter the company’s plans to fly to Caracas.
Ultimately, the airline decided to change its plans and resume the non-stop route between Sao Paulo and Caracas.
Return to Venezuela
GOL suspended its flights to Venezuela in 2016 due to the inability to repatriate funds caused by the Venezuelan government’s strict currency controls. This return marks a significant step in the expansion of its route network in South America.
